Du Wenzhen fell into deep thought and after a moment, suddenly made a decision, "Well, Old Xiao, you can take all the rewards from this task of discovering Mountain God Qin Jian subduing Zhuo Pa. You don't have to share with me, I have Five Elements Dust, and temporarily don't need Energy Fruits to enhance my strength."

The words of Du Wenzhen surprised Xiao Mu, who had not expected Du Wenzhen to cede all the rewards from this task discovery to him.

After thinking it over, Xiao Mu did not refuse, because he truly was in need of Energy Fruits. He said, "Since that's the case, I won't be polite. I'll take the rewards for this task first, and you can have a larger share of whatever we get from the next task."

"Haha!"

Du Wenzhen laughed out loud, "I knew you'd say that, Old Xiao. No doubt about it, I've made the right choice in befriending you."

Xiao Mu gave a faint smile.

The rewards for this task discovery probably wouldn't be too much, but they should amount to around one or two thousand energy fruits.

Adding to the ten thousand he already had, Xiao Mu now possessed about twelve thousand energy fruits.

According to Xiao Mu's estimation, transitioning from the early stage to the mid-stage of Yin God Realm would probably require around twenty thousand energy fruits.

Of course, this was just Xiao Mu's estimate. The actual amount needed would depend on the circumstances, but the reality wouldn't differ too much from his estimate.

After parting ways with Du Wenzhen, he headed to the Reward and Punishment Hall to collect the rewards.

On his way there, Xiao Mu originally planned to make a trip to the Task Hall but then changed his mind on a whim.

With his current strength being low, he didn't dare to adventure recklessly without knowing the nature of the task Elder Zun was preparing for him.

Xiao Mu decided to wait until his strength had further increased. At the very least, he would need to advance to the Mid Yin God Realm and join the task group before he could meet with Elder Zun.

Reward and Punishment Hall.

"You've entered the True Realm. Xiao Mu, don't forget what you said before. The day you reach the Mid Stage of the Yin God Realm, don't forget to look for me, otherwise I'll have to come looking for you myself."

Inside the Reward and Punishment Hall, Yang Yun saw Xiao Mu and fixed him with an oppressive gaze.

Having entered the True Realm, Xiao Mu felt no pressure under Yang Yun's gaze and smiled, "Spar with Respected Envoy Yang is my aspiration. I only hope that when the time comes, Respected Envoy Yang won't get cold feet and dodge the duel."

"Misplaced confidence!"

Yang Yun's face darkened, and he stormed off to the back room.

He could not bear to look at Xiao Mu for even a moment longer, as if seeing him one more time would make him unable to hold back his anger.

"Brother, help me check how much these discoveries are worth."

Xiao Mu approached the same young worker's window as last time.

"Why is it always me? I mean… can't you go to someone else? Why must you trouble me?"

The young worker's face fell, showing a profoundly helpless expression.

Xiao Mu chuckled, "Haha! Who told you to be so good-looking? If not you, who else should I turn to?"

Winking at the young worker, "Bro, help me out with a big reward."

"Big brother, my lord, don't make this hard for me!"

The young worker forced a bitter smile and began to settle Xiao Mu's account.

The reward Xiao Mu received for discovering Mountain God Qin Jian subduing Zhuo Pa of the Five Elements Sect was not substantial, amounting to only fifteen hundred energy fruits.

After all, it was just a minor ruin, and the valuable items had already been taken by Xiao Mu and Du Wenzhen beforehand, so the mere discovery was not of great value.

Having received fifteen hundred energy fruits, Xiao Mu returned to his dwelling and began a closed-door cultivation, consuming Energy Fruits to enhance his strength.

About half a month passed, and when more than ten thousand energy fruits were all consumed, Du Wenzhen suddenly sent Xiao Mu a message.

The message was very simple, containing only six words: Old Xiao, come to the Task Hall.

Xiao Mu's heart leapt with joy, knowing Du Wenzhen must have stumbled upon a new discovery, and he quickly set off toward the Reserve Duty Task Hall.
